Description: The swaggering adventures of noted Eighteenth Century actor Sir Edmund Kean come to breathtaking life in Wright and Forrest’s KEAN. Considered the greatest Shakespearean actor of his time, he was as well known for his rowdy behavior offstage as he was for his stellar performances onstage.

KEAN finds the actor juggling two women in his life: the lovely Elena, married to the Danish Ambassador and Anna, a young aspiring actress. Complications ensue as KEAN works to perfect his art and keep his paramours from finding out about each other.
